132 CONSTANTINOPLE. 
CHAP, arrival, two English Gentlemen, both belonging 
J _> to the University of Cambridge — Mr. (now Sir 
fVilUam) Gell, and Mr. DodwelL These gentle- 
men were in possession of the apartments we 
had formerly occupied ; and they received us 
in the kindest manner. Having congratulated 
us upon our safe return from a long and 
perilous expedition, they requested that we 
might all board together, beneath the same 
roof; politely ceding a part of their lodgings to 
accommodate us. Here, therefore, we esta- 
blished ourselves for the remainder of the 
winter season; enjoying their friendly and 
polished society ; and mutually participating 
the usual hospitality of the different Envoys 
then resident at the Porte. And here, too, 
having brought to a successful termination the 
account of these Travels, as far as it relates to 
Greece, Egypt, and the Holy Land, this 
Second Part of the narrative might terminate. 
But as the Reader may be curious to accom- 
pany the author upon his journey home, since 
it includes an excursion to the Hungarian Mines, 
we shall make the rest of our observations form 
a Supplement to this Section ; after giving a 
cursory statement, in the following Chapter, 
of the manner in which our time was spent 
during our second residence in the Turkish 
Capital.
